问题
I am using AVFoundation to show the camera.
I would like to prevent the camera itself to rotate so the viewer will see the camera only in portrait and the images will be taken only in portrait mode.
I defined Supported Interface Orientation to support portrait only and the view itself is being displayed only in portrait mode, but not the camera - is being rotated with the device orientation
How can I force the AVFoundation camera to be displayed and capture images only in portrait like the UIViewController?
My code to set the camera:
AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer* lay = [[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer alloc] initWithSession:self.sess];
UIView *view = [self videoPreviewView];
CALayer *viewLayer = [view layer];
[viewLayer setMasksToBounds:YES];
CGRect bounds = [view bounds];
[lay setFrame:bounds];
if ([lay respondsToSelector:@selector(connection)])
{
if ([lay.connection isVideoOrientationSupported])
{
[lay.connection setVideoOrientation:AVCaptureVideoOrientationPortrait];
}
}
[lay setVideoGravity:AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill];
[viewLayer insertSublayer:lay below:[[viewLayer sublayers] objectAtIndex:0]];
self.previewLayer = lay;

Here is a partial answer based on my understanding of your question (which differs from the other answers you have had).
You have the app locked to portrait orientation. So the status bar is always at the portrait top of the phone regardless of the phone's orientation. This successfully locks your interface, including your AVCapture interface. But you want to also lock the raw image feed from the camera so that the image horizon is always parallel with the status bar.
This will ideally need to be done continuously - so that if you have the camera at a 45degree angle the image will be counter-rotated 45 degrees. Otherwise, most of the time, the image will not be aligned correctly (the alternative is that it is always out of line until your 90degree orientation switch updates, which would swivel the image 90 degrees).
To do this you need to use Core Motion and the accelerometer. You want to get angle of the phone's Y-axis to true vertical and rotate the image accordingly. See here for geometry details:
iPhone orientation -- how do I figure out which way is up?
Using Core Motion, trigger this method from viewDidLoad
- (void)startAccelerometerUpdates {
self.coreMotionManager = [[CMMotionManager alloc] init];
if ([self.coreMotionManager isAccelerometerAvailable] == YES) {
CGFloat updateInterval = 0.1;
// Assign the update interval to the motion manager
[self.coreMotionManager setAccelerometerUpdateInterval:updateInterval];
[self.coreMotionManager startAccelerometerUpdatesToQueue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
withHandler: ^(CMAccelerometerData *accelerometerData, NSError *error) {
CGFloat angle = -atan2( accelerometerData.acceleration.x,
accelerometerData.acceleration.y)
+ M_PI ;
CATransform3D rotate = CATransform3DMakeRotation(angle, 0, 0, 1);
self.previewLayer.transform = rotate;
}];
}
}

phone held (a) portrait; (b) rotated ~30deg; (c) landscape

You may find this is a little jumpy, and there is a bit of a lag between the device movement and the view. You can play with the updateInterval, and get in deeper with other Core Motion trickery to dampen the movement. (I have not treated the case of the phone being exactly upside down, and if you hold the camera face down or face up, the result is undefined fixed with updated code/ use of atan2).
Now orientation is reasonably correct, but your image does not fit your view. There is not a lot you can do about this as the format of the raw camera feed is fixed by the physical dimensions of it's sensor array. The workaround is to zoom the image so that you have enough excess image data at all angles to enable you to crop the image to fit the portrait format you want.
Either in Interface Builder:
- set your previewLayer's view to square centered on it's superview, with width and height equal to the diagonal of the visible image area (sqrt (width2+height2)
Or in code:
- (void)resizeCameraView
{
CGSize size = self. videoPreviewView.bounds.size;
CGFloat diagonal = sqrt(pow(size.width,2)+pow(size.height,2));
diagonal = 2*ceil(diagonal/2); //rounding
self.videoPreviewView.bounds = (CGRect){0,0,diagonal,diagonal};
}
If you do this in code, resizeCameraView should work if you call it from your viewDidLoad. Make sure that self.videoPreviewView is your IBOutlet reference to the correct view.
Now when you take a photo, you will capture the whole of the 'raw' image data from the camera's array, which will be in landscape format. It will be saved with an orientation flag for display rotation. But what you may want is to save the photo as seen onscreen. This means that you will have to rotate and crop the photo to match your onscreen view before saving it, and remove it's orientation metadata. That's for you to work out (the other part of the 'partial answer'): I suspect you might decide that this whole approach doesn't get you what you want (I think what you'd really like is a camera sensor that hardware-rotates against the rotation of the device to keep the horizon stable).
update
changed startAccelerometerUpdates to get angle from atan2 instead of acos, smoother and takes account of all directions without fiddling
update 2
From your comments, it seems your rotated preview layer is getting stuck? I cannot replicate your error, it must be some other place in your code or settings.
So that you can check with clean code, I have added my solution into Apple's AVCam project, so you can check it against that. Here is what to do:
- add the Core Motion framework to AVCam.
In AVCamViewController.m
#import <CoreMotion/CoreMotion.h>- add my
startAccelerometerUpdatesmethod - add my
resizeCameraViewmethod (stick both of these methods near the top of the class file or you may get confused, there are more than one@implementations in that file) - add the line:
[self resizeCameraView];toviewDidLoad(it can be the first line of the method) - add the property
@property (strong, nonatomic) CMMotionManager* coreMotionManager
to the @interface (it doesn't need to be a property, but my method assumes it exists, so if you don't add it you will have to modify my method instead).
In startAccelerometerUpdates change this line:
self.previewLayer.transform = rotate;
to:
self.captureVideoPreviewLayer.transform = rotate;
also, in the Objects list in AVCamViewController.xib, move the videoPreview View above the ToolBar (otherwise when you enlarge it you cover the controls)
Be sure to disable rotations - for iOS<6.0, that is already true, but for 6.0+ you need to select just portrait in supported orientations in the target summary.
I think that is a complete list of changes I made to AVCam, and the rotation/orientation is all working very well. I suggest you try doing the same. If you can get this to work smoothly, you know there is some other glitch in your code somewhere. If you still find your rotations stick, I would be curious to know more about your hardware and software environment such as which devices are you testing on.
I am compiling on XCode 4.6/OSX10.8.2, and testing on:
- iPhone4S / iOS5.1
- iPhone3G / iOS6.1
- iPad mini / iOS6.1
All results are smooth and accurate.

I guess you need to use this method to restrict the camera rotation.
AVCaptureConnection *videoConnection = [CameraVC connectionWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo fromConnections:[imageCaptureOutput connections]];
if ([videoConnection isVideoOrientationSupported])
{
[videoConnection setVideoOrientation:[UIDevice currentDevice].orientation];
}
Assuming your preview layer is defined as property, can use
[self.previewLayer setOrientation:[[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation]];
In your case you can replace [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] by UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait

Try to add the preview layer when you actually need it. Example
preview = [[self videoPreviewWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)] retain];
[self.view addSubview:preview];
The videoPreviewWithFrame function.
- (UIView *) videoPreviewWithFrame:(CGRect) frame
{
AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer *tempPreviewLayer = [[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer alloc]initWithSession:[self captureSession]];
[tempPreviewLayer setVideoGravity:AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill];
tempPreviewLayer.frame = frame;
UIView* tempView = [[UIView alloc] init];
[tempView.layer addSublayer:tempPreviewLayer];
tempView.frame = frame;
[tempPreviewLayer autorelease];
[tempView autorelease];
return tempView;
}

Assuming your previewlayer is added to a viewcontroller view. Do this in viewDidLoad :
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(orientationChanged:) name:UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification object:nil];
and define the selector as:
- (void)orientationChanged:(NSNotification*)notification {
UIInterfaceOrientation interfaceOrientation = [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation;
if ([self.previewlayer respondsToSelector:@selector(orientation)]) {
//for iOS5
if (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) {
self.previewlayer.orientation = (AVCaptureVideoOrientation)UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
} else {
//for iOS6
if (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) {
self.previewlayer.connection.videoOrientation = (AVCaptureVideoOrientation)UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
}
}
Note: put tempPreviewLayer in the property self.previewlayer .
This will force the preview layer to portrait position when the device orientation changes.
EDIT
you can also add this in ur 'shouldAutoRotate` method of the viewController
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
if ([self.previewlayer respondsToSelector:@selector(orientation)]) {
if (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) {
self.previewlayer.orientation = (AVCaptureVideoOrientation)UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
} else {
if (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) {
self.previewlayer.connection.videoOrientation = (AVCaptureVideoOrientation)UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
}
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
for ios6 over ride these two and check.
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
//UIInterfaceOrientation interfaceOrientation = [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation;
//return (
//interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft |
//interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;//(UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft | UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
return YES;
}
before return in these two methods apend the code ..and in the notification that i gave, see if its called when you roate the device.
